From a release newer than 953 or 817:</span><br>

  <li>Transfer your old /save/ folder contents (Athena.txt,
Account.txt, Storage.txt, etc.) to the new /save/ folder.</li>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <span style="font-style: italic;">NOTE</span>:
It is not recommended to transfer your DB files<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; as the DB files are constantly
updated by the eAthena/jAthena<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; team. Just readd your changes to
the new DB files instead of<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; replacing the new DB file with
your old one.<br>

It is not recommended to transfer your .conf files from<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; your old eAthena setup to this
new one because there are always<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; changes and new additions to
these .conf files all the time<br>
